Starting and Stopping the Application Server Java (AS Java)

Use

Use this procedure to start, stop, and restart SAP NetWeaver Application Server for Java (AS Java), individual instances, application server processes, services and deployed applications. If you want to start the database, the HostAgent has to be installed on server side.

The AS Java is started and controlled by the JSTART program.

If you start or stop a functionality through the Application Manager of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator you get a report which has to be started or stopped additionally.

Prerequisites

Starting a SAP System

Java-only Installation

Procedure

When you start the AS Java you start the database, the available Java instances, the central services instance, and the respective server processes.

Start the SAP Management Console (SAP MC).

The SAP MC automatically displays the database and the instances installed on the local host.
In the navigation pane, open the tree structure and navigate to the system node that you want to start.

Note

If you need to administer remote systems, you have to register them in the SAP MC.

More information: Registering Systems and Instances .
Select the system node and then, from the context menu, choose Start .
In the Start SAP system(s) dialog box, choose the preferred options. The system may prompt you for the operating system <SID>adm administrator credentials. To complete the operation, you must have administration permissions.

Note

When you start the SAP system with the SAP MC under Microsoft Windows, you start the available Java instances, the central services instance, the respective server processes, and the database. However, when you start the SAP system under other operating systems, the database does not start automatically. For information how to start the database, refer to the respective database documentation.

Similarly, you can start all SAP systems and individual instances, registered in the SAP MC.

ABAP+Java installation

In an SAP system containing AS ABAP and AS Java, you can start, stop, and administer the AS Java with the ICM monitor (transaction SMICM).
